Well, I think it's happening. If anything, it's happening somewhat quicker than I anticipated. But let me tell you a real faulty line of thinking. And this is more true of Democrats and people on the left. Something must be done. This is something. Ergo, let's do it. OK, you just can't change. Are you sitting here? We just got to see it and tell you we got to do nothing. All right.

So we're going to do something. I remember when you studied the Bolshevik Revolution, it was, what is to be done, okay? Yeah, ruin the whole goddamn world, you know? But what I'm trying to do is the impulse against just charging ahead With a party brand that's frankly in decline, I would say it's in crisis, you have a chance to build it up.

And by the way, this is a war that's not going to be culminated in a short. The first major battle is going to be the first Tuesday in November of 2026. So let's leave the light brigade in reserve right now. I'm not saying we shouldn't use it, OK? That's my rationale is I just want to tell people, yeah, we got to do something, but we got to do something smart that has a long-term plan.

And that's the business behind this.

So this is a very different time. This is a time like literally no other because we have a guy in the Oval Office that at best, the best interpretation of him, he's anti-American. I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that he actually hates the country. It's the only thing in my mind that can explain what he's doing. So March 14th, I think, is the debt limit deadline.

I'm certainly not advocating playing possum there. But what I'm saying is let them, you know, like the Japanese did to us in Okinawa. They let us come in. We eventually beat them, but God damn, what a palatable price we paid. You know, what the Tsar or General Kuchnoff did in 1812. Come on in, Napoleon. You'll enjoy yourself, and then you won't enjoy yourself very much. I mean, there's a...

A long history of what I referred to in the piece, and I got this from General Ty Seville, who is a former chairman of the history department at the United States Military Academy at West Point, that is called tactical pause. It's actually a. A smart move. And I understand inclination. You know, they didn't give Obama any quarter. They didn't give Clinton any votes. They didn't give anything.
